I have an '83 Ty Wkn and have experienced 4-6' waves / chop resulting from the "BIG" monster motored cruiser wake at the mouth of Monroe Harbor at Chicago - Lake Michigan. I anticipate the waves and head (45deg) into them and always get lots of water over the bow. I do get wet, but I do not get a backwash over the stern as you have described.
Best regards,
Jim

Re: Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender sailing question
He has not posted for 3 months (04 June). However, he apparently did log on to the website last night (28 August); or at least someone using his name/password logged on. I hope all is well.Markst95 wrote:This should be a question for Oswego John but he hasn't posted since June. Anyone heard from him?
